Pittenger Lauded by NRA

Press Release

Robert Pittenger, Republican candidate for U.S. Congress in North Carolina's 9th District, has proven himself as the leading candidate for preserving Americans' right to bear arms.

Although this right is guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, it is under constant attack by liberals in Washington. That's why we need strong, conservative leaders like Robert Pittenger to defend our right to keep and bear arms.

Pittenger's strong defense of gun ownership earned him more than just the support of North Carolina Sportsmen. He has an "A" rating and endorsement from the National Rifle Association for his great voting record and stance on the issues.

"Thank you for your unwavering support of the Second Amendment," NRA Director of Federal Affairs James J. Baker said in the endorsement letter. "We urge our members, gun owners and sportsmen in North Carolina's 9th Congressional District to vote for you in the upcoming May 8th Republican primary."

"I have always believed gun ownership is one of our most fundamental rights," said Pittenger. "That is why I have spent so much time and effort defending it from attacks, and why I am such a friend to our gun owners here in North Carolina. I hope to continue that fight in the U.S. House of Representatives."
